Ep. #11405 (45x179)

Air date: Dec 15, 2000

Hal and Barbara discuss the state of their marriage and continue to argue about Craig. They realize that it really is over between them, but decide not to break the news to the children until after Christmas. Lily reluctantly tells Holden that Simon married Katie to avoid being deported. Rose sincerely apologizes to Lily for everything that happened. Lily doubts they can forge a relationship as sisters, given that Rose is in love with Lily's husband. Rose offers to back off of Holden if that's what Lily wants, but Lily admits she can't interfere in Holden's life since she's pursuing Simon. They make a tentative rapprochement. Simon is frustrated he can't reach Lily. Katie has gone shopping to transform their apartment into a "home." Simon agrees to let her redecorate, but reminds her that their situation is only temporary. A gloating Holden shows up with a bottle of Scotch and warns Simon about Katie. Later, Katie plays the happy wife when INS Agent Halliwell arrives. Vicky appears to Molly in Madame Joleen's place, but before Vicky can give her message to Molly, Madame Joleen passes out. Jake and Donna didn't see Vicky. Adam and Abigail arrive with their news - they have proof of Vicky's ghost. They all watch the videotape, but Jake is still skeptical and escorts Madame Joleen out. He then asks Adam for the name of a ghostbuster so that he can see Vicky's ghost for himself.
